Christine de Pizan
Wealth takes no account of kindness, good sense, beauty, or strength, nor is she concerned about valor, goodness, or eminent qualities. To such people she is hardly a friend, and when she is, that situation usually does not last long.
Christine de Pizan, The Book of the Mutability of Fortune (Volume 52)
